Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

Ett tankeexperiment: om Trump nu lyckas medla varaktig fred i de konflikter han säger sig redan ha skapat fred i, är han då inte betjänt av fredspriset i framtiden? Vill höra bästa argumenten för/emot.

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

In video games, you will often find a fully roasted chicken abandoned on the ground, and eating it extremely quickly makes you feel better. What's less known is that this is also true in real life

Entire politics based around imagining rubbing the suffering of Gazans in the face of an Arab from Dearborn.

Interesting niche of people (and it is a niche, even on here) who very clearly desperately hope the ceasefire plan to end the war fails not because it's bad on the merits (it is) but because it would undermine their "hope Dearborn is happy" schtick if it succeeded

Video shows rescuers pulling a Palestinian boy from the rubble of his home in Gaza City. Israeli forces attacked the house on Thursday after the approval of a ceasefire agreement with Hamas.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ..Or saying..
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ..Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over,
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and youre stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I also know deep in my heart that Chotiner forced whoever edits his interviews to put this in at the beginning

n Thursday, the Israeli Cabinet was on the verge of approving the initial stages of a ceasefire agreement that will at least temporarily end the war in Gaza.
That war, which began two years ago with the Hamas attacks of October 7th, and the killing of twelve hundred people, was followed by Israel's bombardment and occupation of the Gaza Strip, and the killing of nearly seventy thousand Palestinians.
(A United Nations commission recently labeled Israel's war a genocide.) The initial phases of the agreement, which President Trump announced on Wednesday, will likely include a release of the remaining Israeli hostages early next week, a release of Palestinians held by Israel, a pullback of Israeli troops from Gaza, and a much-needed surge of food and medicine into the territory.

The Education Department has hired at least 9 people from the America First Policy Institute, co-founded by Secretary Linda McMahon.

The think tank’s listed goals include ending the separation of church and state and “plant[ing] Jesus in every space.”

Under Trump, the Department of Education has been bringing in activists hostile to public schools. It could mean a new era of private and religious schools boosted by tax dollars — and the end of publ...

Saw a man trying to fix a flat bicycle tire in the street today, a teenage boy stopped in front of him and sang a note perfect rendition of Elvis Costello’s “Pump It Up” and this is probably the best thing I’ll witness this week.
